As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

10/19: This morning when I opened up the closet I wanted to rearrange a little, but they were so packed in, it was almost impossible. So, I went up in the attic and ran some cables and hooked up my other 200w light in the top section. I moved the 4 smallest plants up there and it created a little bit of desperately needed space in the lower section...but I still doubt very seriously that I'll be able to grow all 15 to completion in there..it's only 14.5 square feet of space!😳 10/20: I foliar fed everybody with some SP-90 humic/fulvic acid and kelp me kelp you today. They will probably get fed again tomorrow. Drying out quickly- 10/21: I applied Axiom again today..I sprayed a whole liter of the finest mist I could produce..tops and bottoms of all leaves to the point of runoff. I fixed up a 5 gallon batch of nutes and fed everybody about a 1/4 gallon each. Later the same day.... Several of them look very overwatered..and it's mainly the plants in the back in fabric pots that have seen a grow or two. I think my pots are mainly just too close together for airflow to dry the bottoms out well enough. I put another big fan in the closet and turned off the evap cooler for the night. 10/22: Most of them look better this morning, but a few are still droopy, so I used a stainless steel skewer to poke a thousand little holes in the lower part of all the fabric pots in the garden to try and improve oxygen availability to the roots. I also carefully arranged the garden so that there are gaps between all the pots. I think I'll also space my waterings a little further apart. The topsoil is drying out well enough, but I don't want their roots sitting in muck. 10/23: Several of them are flowering now, and starting to stretch a little bit. I raised the lights about 2 inches today and dialed the ac infinity's high temp trigger up to 88f for a bit to get them to dry out a little faster, so the RH climbed a little higher as well...so I also set the ac infinity's high humidity trigger threshold to 65%. After observing signs of nitrogen toxicity on several of them, I realized that I made another rookie mistake...(where is my head??) The new 5 gallon bucket I'm using to mix a batch of nutes must be about 2 inches shorter than the one I had been using, and I never bothered to calibrate it....which I did today. So, for the past couple of feedings, I've been mixing in enough nutes for 5 gallons, but in only 4 gallons of water!!! I foliar fed them with BoomBoom Spray and gave them about 8oz each of boomerang and cal-mag early in the morning, and by 5pm they all looked happier. I'll give them a little drink of plain water tomorrow, then start them on flowering nutes the next day. 10/24: Several are starting to stretch now...and all but one are flowering. This morning I fed them another little dose of boomerang and cal-mag, and also added some bembe and open sesame to the mix. This afternoon, I foliar fed everybody very thoroughly with some humic/fulvic acid, seaweed extract, yucca extract, and big bloom (for the earthworm castings and minor and trace elements) I repotted the dwarf in a smaller container and gave it to my son. He's a bonsai enthusiast, so it's right up his alley...that's one less plant to deal with! 10/25: This evening I mixed up 5 gallons of pretty much everything except grow big. and gave everybody about 1/4 gallon each. I plan to flush them with sledgehammer on Sunday or Monday and only do foliar feedings like BoomBoom spray and fulvic acid until I resume normal bloom feeding mid-week. Because I've had such a good veg, I'm pretty sure the maximum number of plants I'll be able to fit into the lower section is 13...and maybe only 12. So, that will be my 4 or 5 shortest plants in the area above..in which case, I'll need more light... I think the new UVB light will have to wait until my next grow because I've got so spend a couple hundred bucks on seeds to be able to start another batch right before my current run finishes.😖😞😩😡

Week 8: Nothing but water and wait for the rest of her time. She's beginning her flush so I figure a couple weeks and she'll be good to harvest 😎 This girl smells like Chem, Cherries and cream and she has really been putting on some weight here at the end. Her buds are deceptively dense and spear shaped. As the calyxes swell so do the trichs. Really interested to see what she smokes like.

- Day 38 Another watering day today! Gave her 1.25L of water containing bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven, acti-vera & alg-a-mic. I skipped bio-grow this time as some of the lower plant tips have become darker green and the tips starting twisting downards. I will stick to just 1ml/L next feedings. I'm religiously moving the LST stakes and adding new clips to allow more and more nodes to receive direct light in hopes that they as many as possible nodes become strong flowering sites. I'm not sure if constant adjustments like that will stunt the plant, but she seems to be doing good for now 🙏 Day 39 She still looking happy for now! I am loving see all the new nodes popup from the intensive LST'ing that I am doing, it's becoming an addiction almost 😝. I catch myself wanting to just check for 5 minutes how she's doing and I'll end up adjusting the stakes and clips for almost an hour every day. Day 41 Starting to really smell her now, so yummy! starting to get to the point that I barely have to adjust the LST'ing now as the branches are settling. Today was also another watering day. I upped the volume to 2 liters now (silica force, calmag, bio-grow, bio-bloom, top-max, alg-a-mic, acti-vera & bio-heaven) Day 42 Just letting her go now and doing minimal leaf tucking when needed. Loving the way she looks so bushy from the top. Day 43 Not much to report, she seems to be doing very good for now, just doing minor defoliation and leaf tucking for airflow and node lighting.

Had problem with spiders so I tried used paromanal -R but was not good enough so used something called Anti Sniper X quite expensive but I think I away with them. I use the product two days after you could see the difference and now I done desolation again and spray that after again 🤞🤞🤞

Suuuper sweet and tropical smell, beautiful fragrance of the buds man! By far the sweetest nuggets I have in my garden currently even more than my bslck cherry punch plants, awesome strain, such a beautiful surprise, I'll grow her more times now that I know her, she's fading out perfectly showing purple on the leafs because of the cold weather, and I'm seeing a lot of yellow leafs,let's see what happens at the end! ✌️👨‍🌾🌱💚

Day 35 Noticed true flowers on 3 of 4 plants. Turned lights up to 100%. 5 or 6 large leaves removed from each during past week. Increased nutes for two feedings during this past week. Photos and video from day 36. Noticed brown spots and tip burn Day 38 on some leaves mid plant on BB2 and GG2. I'm guessing start of Potassium lock out because of too much Cal mag. Flushed all 4 with one gallon each of 6.5 ph water on Day 38 and removed all LST. By Day 40 all new growth was healthy and all were growing quickly. Defoliated BB2 of 8 large fan leaves and a few on the others.

🌸 The White OG – Week 2 Flower Strain: TheWhite OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: 2nd Week Flower / Week 13 from Germination Grower: DogDoctor Pot: 30L Fabric Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae Lighting: FOG LED Controlled by: TrolMaster Environment: 🌿 🔆 Light Schedule: 11/13 (Light/Dark) 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: 1.26 🌡️ Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 💥 Let the Bloom Begin We’ve officially entered Week 2 of Flower—and you can see the shift. ✨ The canopy is full ✨ The stretch is slowing ✨ And the first signs of flowers are popping up! Tiny clusters forming, her energy turning inward to begin building her crown. This is a foundational moment. What we do now will shape the rest of her flowering cycle. And for White OG, it’s looking like she’s going to be a big mama, just as we’d hoped. 🌿 ⸻ Feeding: The Aptus Clean Program with Breakout Powder This week’s feeding is a carefully balanced clean recipe—precision, not excess. 💧 Order of Mix 1. Regulator – Strength and cell structure 2. System Clean – Sanitation and oxygen boost 3. RO Water Conditioner – Unlocks nutrient uptake 4. All-in-One Liquid – Balanced base nutrients 5. Breakout Powder – The flower kickstarter 🌸 Why Breakout Now? Week 2 of flower is when we want to nudge the girl gently into full reproductive mode. Breakout powder provides the phosphorus and potassium bump needed to stimulate early bud formation and drive more focused energy into flower sites. Not too early. Not too late. This timing is just right. 🧠 ⸻ 📈 Metrics That Matter • Final pH after mix: 6.0 – ideal absorption • EC: 1.26 – strong but not heavy • Water Temp: 18.6°C – slightly cool, but within range This is a recipe that’s been tried, tested, and it’s clearly working. Her leaves are loving it, and her roots are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Goals She’s taking to the Scrog beautifully—spreading, reaching, stacking. You can feel her momentum building. The defoliation we did earlier paid off. She’s getting light where she needs it and airflow is perfect. You can already feel her presence. She’s not just growing—she’s preparing for bloom with intention. ⸻ ❤️ Thank You to the Dream Team • Seedsman Seeds – for giving us these genetics to explore • Aptus Holland – for their clean and powerful feeding philosophy • FOG LEDs & TrolMaster – for total environmental control • GrowDiaries – for the platform to share, learn, connect • To the community—friends, haters, lovers, fellow growers—you are all part of the rhythm • And of course, to Instagram, where we keep the vibes flowing daily 🌈 👉 Come join the journey at [@DogDoctorOfficial] 🎉 Don’t miss the Dognabis Cup - 1st Edition now open! ⸻ 🌙 Final Thoughts This week, we don’t rush her—we guide her. White OG is stepping into her flower phase with grace and strength. The roots are fed, the canopy is full, and the energy is shifting. One week closer to the magic. Let’s trust the process, respect the plant, and enjoy the ride. 🚀 With Growers Love, DogDoctor 🐾💚 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

So I thought the plants was going to be a flop but they turned it around, really long time tho for a auto flower, I could of ran photos with a better yield, but never the less these look like 10/10 nugs and smell amazing i can't wait to see how these look dried off.

Yooooooooyoyoyoyoyooooo, Beginning of week 12. Could i harvest already? Yes. But i want to wait at least one more week until harvest so probably week 13. I read that waiting a week more than usual can boost potency and yield as long as it won't get too hot, but it won't - hopefully lol. The E.C. was kinda high 1.1 So i partially cleaned the reservoir, emptied about 6 liters and refilled it with pH water Well the Plant is looking absolutely stunning and is definitely one of the best looking plant i ever grew. In Reallife she is looking so much better. Over all trichomes over trichomes, the buds get more and more purple, and they look SO dense, I LOVE IT! Really good genetic. If i can get my hands on the Photoperiod strains from fastbuds i will grow some mother plants and will try cloning for the first time, Growing in Deep water culture is awesome. For me, it's more fun than on soil. i want to try coco but if i try coco i will buy something like the autopot system. im too stupid for hand watering and will screw up at some point. the less i have to handwater the lower the risk Thats for this week, have a wonderful day, and see you next week, cheers!

So far I’ve had a strain of diesel & candy kush sprout & the ww was not successful in the coco coir as it’s been quite dry & overcast outdoors lately so I decided to take an indoor approach which has been more successful & pest free. I put another candy kush & turbo diesel seed in a glass of water & already got the seed of candy k to split open so I’ve moved it into to a moist paper towel in a zip bag &’ll plant it in coco coir once the root is nice n long enough to transfer into a pot. Also I’m smh 🤦‍♂️🏽 because I’ve had more success with a $24 grow light bulb from homedepot but none whatsoever with my $160 viper spectra 1500 grow light for the vegetative cycle🤷‍♂️🏾. Can someone tell me what’s the best brightness range & distance from 5%-100% when using the viper spectra 1500 for all stages? Because I’m ready to resell it on Amazon at this point.

Ready for a week of water only. Really frosty buds and extremely fruity terps. I did hit he with a little dose of PK before the flush which looks like it has helped.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

Allora.... Questa settimana ha ripreso veramente tanto! La settimana scorsa era rimasta un po' indietro rispetto le sue amiche (diverse genetiche) ma adesso ha veramente dato il suo scatto è ha rivelato che è all'altezza delle sue compagne di crescita! Anche lei sembra che si stia iniziando a riempire bene e ho deciso di togliere qualche internodo centrale per favorire l'areazione ed evitare eventuali sorprese di muffe più in là( anche se non ho mai avuto problemi meglio prevenire che curare)...non vedo l'ora che si inizi a gonfiare un po' perché sono molto curioso di questa genetica! Ha un 29% di THC quindi dovrebbe essere adatta a me .... speriamo bene e incrociamo le dita! Nel frattempo volevo ribadire la potenza di questi prodotti di Cannaboom! Sto usando tutta la linea full cream (con qualche aiuto della linea minerale tipo il loro CALMAG(SI) ) che oltre ad essere un semplice Cal Mag contiene anche silicio e ferro! Veramente adatto a le piante per fare assimilare meglio potassio e fosforo! Credetemi che con solo due applicazioni ho potuto vedere delle differenze esuberanti! Infatti speromtanto di continuare a usare i loro prodotti perché mi stanno veramente aiutando a spaccare questa growbox da 100x100! Quindi ancora grazie a CANNABOOM! Un grande grazie speciale a tutto il team di anesia che mi ha fornito questa splendida nuovissima e potente genetica! Spero che piaccia come uscirà il diario! Ma alla fine ci saranno delle sorprese per tutti quindi rimanete sintonizzati! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Seguitemi anche su Instagram sul mio profilo curati_da_solo🔥🔥🔥🔥
